i've been reading up on QBs with torn labrums.
It happened to Phil Simms. He said this about Brees- "I do not think it's a big long-term worry (for Brees)," he said. "I think he'll overcome it, and I think he'll be 100 percent by the time they go to training camp next year." Simms said he couldn't understand why anyone would question the identity of the Chargers' starting quarterback in 2006 – Brees. "Why wouldn't he be the starter?" Simms said. "I'm reading all these things, should Philip Rivers or Drew Brees be the quarterback for the San Diego Chargers and I'm really floored by some of it. I'm just going, 'What are they thinking of?' "You have a franchise quarterback that's (had) back-to-back years that have been terrific. He's learned to throw the ball better, he's a pretty good athlete – he's one of these guys that's a much better athlete than people give him credit for. I don't get it. But you know, I don't get it a lot of times. ---- Kelly Holcomb and Rich Gannon are two others I have found who returned successfully after a torn labrum. |
